If you do, what do you use it for? I'm am teaching it to myself, our co-op uses it and I'm on the board, the gal that did all of the classes information last year is stepping down, so someone else needs to use it. I'm wanting to create an account for our church to do the members & birthdays also. I thought about doing our own addresses.

I'm just curious if anyone else uses it, how did you learn and what do you use it for?

Thanks,
Kristine

I was the membership chair for our homeschool group for four years, and I used it to keep everyone's info. I ran directories, reports, mailing labels, etc. etc. Things changed in the group last summer, and I turned the entire database over to someone else who unfortunately hasn't made use of it.

Of course it helps that I teach Microsoft Office at the college level, but there are many online tutorials. Just type "Access Tutorial" into Google.

My dh uses it to catalog our extensive LP and CD collection which totals over 1000 titles.

Also, our support group uses it to catalog the resource library.
